Abstract

Tremendous increase in the numbers of vehicle in roads causing delay in road transportation due to traffic, but with the introduction of Metro Rail a huge number of passenger can travel in a much shorter time and also its very economical as compare to the travelling cost through private vehicle. To prepare this report first of all questionnaire survey and details regarding equipment was been collected from various construction site then it was converted in the form of Binary Variable for Cluster Analysis. The Cluster Analysis was carried out for groups of equipment that are similar to each other but different from individuals. Which helps to realize the similarity as well as dissimilarity of the equipment as well as the advancement of the technologies for performing work. While compile this report the number of accident occurred while the execution of Metro Project was also considered. The report consist of brief study of matches, similarity and dissimilarity of the equipment.
